CHARMING STEEL BAND

Charming Steel Band are suitable for any event, Caribbean-themed or not.

A modern professional UK-based steel band or ‘steel drum band’ as our American cousins mistakenly call it!

Charming Steel are available for hire with musicians based mainly in London, but with contacts to associate steel pan players throughout the country.

The core of Charming Steel are from a small family of musicians that spans 3 generations, What also distinguishes them from other steel bands is that they can offer vocals and other instrumentation to play a diverse repertoire.

During the band's history Charming Steel Band must have performed around 200 different songs but here's a more concise list of the 100 most recently played.

Please feel free to make requests before your event.

We will gladly perform these for you if we know them or they are on this list.

Please bear in mind before doing so that on an average event we may only have time to play 25-30 songs and that the style of song we choose at any given time is a result of what we perceive to best suited for the audience at that time- given our considerable experience.

We advise you to take full advantage of that experience and not to attempt writing a whole set for us!
